A simple and easy to understand recipe video shows how to make Easy - Grilled Japanese Rice Ball (Onigiri) with Green Onion and Miso.
This is a grilled Japanese rice ball (onigiri) made with homemade green onion miso. Just spread the spicy green onion miso with cayenne pepper (powder) on onigiri and toast them in a toaster. The saltiness of miso and the spiciness of cayenne pepper make Japanese rice wine (sake) go well. You can heat it in a microwave and eat it immediately when you want to, so please try it.

Tips for cooking

We baked it at 1000W 220°C (428°F) this time. Toasters are small inside, so the food and the heat source are close, and it has a risk of smoke or catching fire due to oil dropping/ splashing. Keep an eye on the toaster while it is heating. 　Heating conditions may vary depending on the type of microwave, the type of heat-resistant container, and the condition of the ingredients, so please check the condition and adjust the heating time as necessary. *You must be of legal drinking age
